Biking (Mountain)
Echols Dorm: Brick Wall By Side Door
Preddy Creek
WHAT? You mean that weird guy at the info sessions really does lead trips?!
What better way can I welcome you to the club than to teach you my passion??
THIS IS A BEGINNER MOUNTAIN BIKING TRIP.
*All people will be waitlisted until I can determine what bikes are available*
Hello, my name is Jim Old and I am going to be your tour guide. To what you ask? Oh, just to shredding the gnar…riding the iron horse…sending it…
This trip is designed to give you a quick intro to the basics of mountain biking. You will learn how to brake, shift, lean into turns, and other general biking basics. Think this sounds silly? I assure you that you will learn something! Whether you are a road bike expert and want to feel the freedom mountain biking has to offer, or you haven’t picked up a bike since you were 5, I’m going to make sure you come off the trail feeling like life is just too good to be true!
